He Did It!!

It happened! He slept through the night last night!!!

7pm until just before 5am.

We have no idea how this happened. Nothing seemed different and the night before we were up either 3 or 4 times.

Wow! We are soooo happy!!

It's been rough!

We have had one hell of a week that has ended with Chad and I sleeping on the couches in the living room for the second night in a row. Our little man's night sleeping has been completely out of whack this week.

Unfortunately, he is still not sleeping through the night at 8.5 months. We got really close prior to his teeth coming in but since that time, he is up more often requesting food than he has anytime before.

Twice this week Lucas fell asleep for the night at about 4pm in the afternoon. On two different nights, he was wide awake in the middle of the night ready to play.

One major problem is that we share a room with this little angel which means that all three of us are up.

Somehow, no matter how quiet we are, he seems to always wake up when we drag our tired bodies into bed. Even though we are completely exhausted, we seem to wake every time he makes a noise or moves in his crib.

I know that we are not supposed to be feeding him at night but that seems to be the only thing that he wants.

In our desperation for some answers, we stumbled across a helpful and entertaining blog, askmoxie.org. Here we read the stories of other crazy fools who raised an infant in an apartment.

Who knew we weren't the only ones living in a one "bedroom" (without walls) loft with a baby, tiptoeing and whispering in the dark by about 7pm every night.

How refreshing to know that many others have experience sharing a bedroom with a baby who does not sleep through the night.

How did these people manage this???

Basically, most said that it was hell!
